Agree , he played his best footy against the Kiwi teams . Would go as far to say he seemed to lift to the challenge of playing them. Not sure if Thorn used him differently in TT , but he was more effective in nearly facets of his game.

Good for the Rebels , thought he initially was only on a one year contract. Well done if you now have him for longer.

Would be great to have Pasitoa at the Reds , but you get the feeling he is chasing a starting spot. Was behind Noah at the Brumbies and JOC (James O'Connor) signed until 2023 with the Reds. Both he and Carter Gordon probably won’t ride shotgun for that long.

Bond will get Mafi , Blyth and Nonggorr which will make difference to their set piece. Quite a few mentioned will most likely be away with the Junior Wallabies , that being Thomas , Grealy, Nonggorr, Flook, Gordon and Vaihu. They will miss 3-4 weeks of QPR. Reds’ players get exemptions to...

UQ could also get ASY (Angus Scott-Young) back , although either he , Wright or Uru might yet get called up to replace the very likely suspended Swinton. Could see both Petaia and Vunivalu being called up to at least train with the squad once fit.

We aren’t going to improve playing in our own bubble . Yes it’s been a reality check playing TT , but we have seen improvement in out teams at a level that we won’t see if we just keep playing our own. It’s also brought out the best in some our players . Harry Wilson has stood up to the...

You are allowed to deliberately knock the ball back towards your own try line, but you can’t deliberately knock it dead

You are allowed one movement to place the ball, as in reach out and place it. If that is back towards your support or placing it over the the line for a try , that’s all good . Basically 360 degrees from where you were tackled. What you can’t do is promote your own position , as in push...

When the Kiwi commentators are saying the ref is wrong you know things are BAD!

The Brothers’ scrum has not been good this year , but at least part of the problem is what is lacking in behind the front row. It’s not all up to the props .

He trained last night and definitely a buzz around him being there. No doubt will be short of a gallop , but his set piece work is still spot on and I’m sure he knows enough short cuts around the park to make do. Look out come scrum time if he gets on. He might just become what Ben Mowen was...

Great , looking forward to seeing how he handles playing at 12. Have seen a lot of him coming through the pathways up here in Brisbane and comes from a cracking family . Stoked for them !

He is named in the starting side , has the injury happen since then ?

Would imagine they would take the full squad to NZ to cover any late injury issues and to have bodies to train against.

Hope you are correct , he’s had a great season . Plenty of competition though for back row spots.

No Vunivalu with both Sorovi and Thomas on the bench a bit of a surprise.

Team announcement this afternoon would imagine. JOC (James O'Connor) and Fraser likely to back in the team?

I get what you mean Dctarget. What X factor players have isn’t coached into them, they just have it, often despite the coach. They just do stuff..... Gets very hard then for said player to then try and coach what their vision was. The hard thinkers/ toilers have to nut out a game plan for...

The way the TT tournament has been run makes it hard to compare much at all, other than the gap in the comps. If you had the Reds or Brumbies winning 4 from 4 against Aussie teams then maybe 2 from 5 against the Kiwis they would be in the top few of the table when you consider the Kiwis would...

Think the players you get back could have a massive bearing on who gets the chocolates at the end of the season. Could be another case of what UQ did in 2019, just scrape into finals , get their Reds’ players back , then proceed to take out the premiership. Add in Henry, Droasese, Serovi and...
